We consist of body, mind and soul.-The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.

a buddist quote, author, unknown

Meditation

Spirituality is an important aspect of our lives. Without a sense of faith or spirituality we cannot be complete. It is in God that we are one. Through meditation and prayer we are able to connect to the spirit within us and the spirtit that is in every living being. What I like about meditation is that it cross religious, you can even practice meditation with good results if you consider your self to be a non- believer.

Health benefitsMeditation will relax your entire body and mind. Medical researches have shown that if meditation is practiced regularly the heart rate slows down, this decreases the risk of cardiovascular problems, it also helps prevent and fix sleeping disorders, depression, anxiety as well as providing the practicer with an overall feeling of well being. Venkatesh S, Raju TR, Shivani Y, Tompkins G, Meti BL. (1997).

Methods

There are many ways to meditate. No matter which method you choose, remember these pointers. Keep your back straight, breath slowly and keep your focus on one thing at a time.

In later posts I will describe a few methods of meditation that work well for me and others

It has been my hobby for some time to study methods and principles that make peoples lives better. A better life means happier, more relaxed, more enjoyable and more successful life. By applying the methods or principles you´ll learn here, you will gain more control over almost every area of your every day life.Your professional life will be more enjoyable and because of your attitude and feelings you will have a greater opportunity to gain higher success.
